Wild Camping Solo Llyn y Fan Fach Wales Black Mountain

[@anthonybrown9970]

Thank you for all of your work in making this film. My wife and I have just really loved it.You make amazing films. We know how much work goes into each shot....and we really appreciate it..We can't wait until you are picked up by a TV company ...you should be.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Anthony for you kind words 👍😀

[@Kenneth194]

Congratulations. My wife and I have been vanning for 48 years the last 25 in our home built 5th wheeler. Unfortunately age and health has intervened and now we arm chair travellers. We are enjoying your travels immensely. Your views of Wales, Scotland and the Lake Country remind us so much of our Tasmanian countryside and your presentation is fabulous. Thank you both

[@annagriffiths717]

I finally did my first wild camp last Friday 🤗🏕⛰ and we hiked over to Llyn Y Fan Fawr and set up home near the lake at the bottom as was a bit windy to go up. Was a positive first experience and tested out my gear. Will be the first of many 😊 enjoyed it

Loved this video, as a current serving soldier dealing with PTSD getting away is a magical experience and keeps the mind fresh, will definitely be going to this spot for my first solo camp. Many thanks for the inspiration. Lee

Cracking little Vid Scott one of my favourites and good to see a little kit review. I have the same sea to summit mat and its a cracking bit of kit, A touch noisy but the nighttime winds or my atko zips soon drown out that! Which reminds me must tape up them pesky tent zips to stop them tingling during the night!!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Hopfully be doing some more gear reviews soon as I have some nice ultra light kit coming for the summer. Have you seen the new Sea To Summit Ether Light XT Insulated Mat, looks nice 👍

[@timwesgate2817]

Hi. I've been wanting to get back o wild camping for years as i did a bit in my teens around the beacons. 54 now and wanted to try again. Started researching and picked up on some vids of LLyn y fan fach and yours was one that inspired me to try it. Stayed over last night. Wasn't cold and didnt rain but boy was it windy. thought my tent would blow away but it didn't. Got worse over night and this morning 06:30 I had to bug out quickly and couldnt pack everything as I wanted to. Anyhoo thanks for sharing and giving me the motivation to buy some kit and give it go. I'm from Cardiff, if your up the beacons and want some company let me know. I'm sure my wife wont miss me :)

Hey Tim and thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the film and you got out for a camp. Will let you know if i'm heading out for a camp 👍

Camera ( cameras ) and drone not so light after a while but well worth it for the great footage you got mate ★★★★★ well done❗

[@johnvancamper9581]

Great vid mate. Just subbed. You should try wild camping Gran Canaria in winter. I do South of France in summer too. Rab Ridge Raider Bivi. My whole pack is under 3kilos now. Flights are so cheap now that if you can be flexible on dates (and carry your own accomodation) you can get a 4 day winter sunshine break for around 50 quid. I never get tired of stepping off that plane into instant summer. It can be freezing and miserable here but summer is only 4 1/2 hours and 50 quid away ! Thanks for sharing this quality video. Happy travels everyone. John

[@ExplorerBuddies]

HI John, I've just updated my whole summer kit to some Zpacks stuff which is the tent, Sleeping Mat/Bag at only 1.8kg. I can only get my base weight down so far as the film equipment comes in at just over 3kg. Will have a look at Gran Canaria. ATB Scott 👍

[@blackdogwildtrails3123]

That amazing weather sadly quickly went to shit in Wales and it's been mostly gales and rain ever since. In fact I have to do a couple of little welding jobs on my van for the MOT and I just can't get out to work on the old bus because the weather is so bad...frustrating! Great to see those young Hungarians with their film cameras. I'm a huge film fan and was in fact planning to do the odd film camera review on my channel. You can't escape from digital photography but its such a soul-less medium compared to film.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Yeh crazy how the weather just changed again and i also have a few jobs to do on the van when the weather gets better again. Digital has a place but love the slow and thinking process of film 👍

09:17 condense milk in tea is just pure yummy, I grew up on that stuff lol.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

It is lovely 😁

[@FreedomStrider]

I love the UK freedom camping laws on public open land, means you can do more stuff like this :D

[@alistaircorbett573]

Actually, there is a camping ban at Llyn y Fan Fach. And you're technically not allowed to wild camp in either England or Wales (but it's tolerated). Scotland is a different matter with the right to roam.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

I think the ban was put in place because of the state the mountain shelter was being left in. The park range came up in the morning and could clearly see my tent but could also see that I was being discreet and did not bother me as I wasn’t camped in clear view next to the lake. 😉

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Also you can wild camp in Dartmoor 😀

[@alistaircorbett573]

@@ExplorerBuddies That's good (about Dartmoor). I wild camp myself and am always respectful, but it's a shame that so many spoil that for the rest of us. Even Scotland has camping ban areas these days, most noticeably Loch Lomond (again, because of the mess left by ignorants). Great video, once again.

[@alistaircorbett573]

@5i1ver8ack Hello. There were "no camping" signs once upon a time. whether or not they are still there I don't know, but it was sign-posted in several places along the walk up to the lake. Even though the Brecon Beacons is largely owned by the National Trust, I think this area may be privately owned land with public access. I'm not sure of that, so someone may be able to correct me.

I'm based just outside of Reading, but happy to do the Beacon's, or anywhere else in Wales for that matter.. I do generally come with a naughty Beagle though.... 😁

Amazing! Stunning footage as usual. Hiked up here two Fridays ago😊 fair play to you for lugging all that gear up.

[@rickythe2]

Great film as always, I love The Beacons, I live about 20 miles away and enjoy a day out up there, my concern with camping is car parking, I’m assuming that because you are wild camping there’s no secure parking??? Any tips for security or things/places to avoid, I’d love a weekend up there in the warmer months, cheers Rich.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

The only thing you can do is make sure you don’t have any valuables in your car. Our car itself is not worth stealing so we don’t have to worry about that 😅

[@davidsimons5944]

Am thinking of buying a snugpack softie elite 3 bag. Do you know of it Scott? After looking around quite a bit this seems to me so far the best balance between compactness & warmth as far as I can tell. I'm considering a one man snugpack tent of similar design to your telemark but I'll check the latter out too. Does Ellie do tents? I don't blame her though if she prefers Florences extra comforts! Thanks.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

I know of Snugpacks and a lot of people use them with great results, ive not used them myself. My kit is kind of split into 2 with a light weight summer setup and then heavy set up for winter. Ellie did come out on a fair few wild camps at the start but it was not for her and like you said prefers the comfort of Florence 😊

You had some cracking weather there. I hate to be that guy but Llyn y Fan Fach is in the Black Mountain area of the Beacons, the Black Mountains area is in the east of the park, I'm sure you know this and it was just a typo. ATB Just.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Hey Just, yes your right and have now edited it 👍

[@justvin7214]

It's an easy mistake to make being only one letter difference (in welsh it is 5 letters so less easy). I have always wondered if anyone has actually gone to the wrong range by mistake - for us it's just a typo but for tourists it could mean the wrong map, different ambience and weather, and also an extra hour of travelling lol.

[@michaelpenney3775]

What do you think of them summit to eat meals,not tried them yet,but the price seems reasonable,cheers

Would love to do a wild camp at Llyn y fan Fach. Any chance of arranging one?

I'll have a look into doing something, might have to head up to the summit if there is a few of us as there is a no camping restriction at the lake.

Hi Scott. Thanks for the video. How do you find the Telemark performs? Especially regards strong wind and rain, and condensation? Also solo rominess. Thanks

I no longer use the Telemark but it held up well in all condition and was great for space, amazing tent.

[@Ge1ert]

Thanks Scott. I'm near Llyn y Fan so I'll try it there when it's possible to. I received my Telemark yesterday, so excited yet frustrated. It's the new Telemark design with 2 entrances, so hoping condensation is reduced. Might see you up there next time? :)

@@ExplorerBuddies Sounds good. Must get something organised then!

[@cherryloid1062]

I would kindly like to remind you, as a local resident of this area, it is NOT acceptable to camp here. "Oops", how dare you. You could be prosecuted for camping here and as a resident who has lived here since I was born Im really quite sick of campers coming up here. There are signs for a reason. Im sure you arent a bad bloke but so many people come up here and leave their trash, their bottles and their dog shit all over the place. Please DO NOT CAMP HERE.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

And yet we get invited to visit the area by the local tourist board, who understand that whilst there are irresponsible people, there are also a lot of decent people who help to support the local industries. You can’t tar all with one brush. Often the rubbish left behind is not by outsiders but by local youths who don’t have the wisdom to have respect for their own homes.

[@cherryloid1062]

@@ExplorerBuddies As I said im sure you arent a bad bloke and I can see you appreciate the beauty of the area you visited, but something really needs to be done by the tourist board to ensure the people who do visit are aware of how to keep the place as a natural beauty. I personally think its all kinda of people, locals, tourists, all kinda of people sadly neglect the area. Whilst you may have been invited (apologies if I came across harsh), I really would like you to not encourage people to camp here. Visit, walk, hike, sure!
